The Kitchen Sink

An episode in celebration of The Golden State, California.

Musical genres ranging from '60s surf guitar, '80s punk and all the way through to the local/"indie" music scene of the new century, ranging in styles from pop to punk and mild to wild, if it's even remotely associated with California, you're bound to find it here.

Check out the events page for yet even more roller derby info from San Diego & Long Beach. I've also added more links to some of my favorite local bands like Temper Tantrum, Unpopable, Willie Cash & The Cashiers, Desperation Squad and The Abe Lincoln Story.

So break out your quads, boogie boards and volleyballs because this is an episode guaranteed to get you in a California state of mind.

Special thanks to LBRD's EMME SIXTEEN for the episode flyer!!

Up next? The Kitchen Sink's 5TH ANNIVERSARY episode. Stay tuned...

So WELCOME to The Kitchen Sink’s “Gateway” episode. You don't have to be stoned to listen...but it couldn't hurt!!

An episode for the ebb and flow, the ups and downs, that life seems to be tossing, well...my way at least.

From the recent passing of a friend to having found myself in transition, times are hard and from what I can tell, it would appear that more than just a few of you out there are finding yourselves, your friends, your loved ones, strugging to make ends meet. And while this episode is by no means a cureall, maybe, MAYBE, some solace, some strength...some level of comfort to help you get from one day to the next can be gained.

Nearly 90-minutes of music to take you away from it all.

Tim Curry / REO Speedwagon / Portishead / The Beatles / Chris Rea / James Brown / Brian May (Queen) / Heatwave / Laurie Anderson / Prince / & CW McCall included to name but a few.

The usual LBRD infomation included; August 6th being the date of the next bout in Long Beach. (http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/118164)

Back to playing the best mix, the most diverse mix, of music you will hear anywhere.

Hang in there folks. Chest out, chin up and remember... "It can't rain all the time." J. Siberry

Desperation Squad Bill Conti April Wine AC/DC The Romantics...and a whole lot more.

Over 60+ minutes of pedal to the metal, balls to the wall, "flat out" kick-ass rock and roll. Because you need it, because deep down inside you want me on your rock, you need me on your rock!

The Kitchen Sink embraces the return of Autumn with an exploitation-filled episode celebrating the raunch, the gore, the violence, the occult and hilarity of drive-in movies past.

The Dickies The Reverend Horton Heat PJ Harvey Hammerbox Marvin Gaye The Cramps Robert Rodriguez Black Sabbath April March Richard O'Brien

We've also included audio clips and trailers from some of the drive-in "classics" for good measure.

For those of you old enough to remember the excitement of the drive-in, this episode will either leave you trembling in fear (at how old you are) or laughing hysterically.

From birthday #44, to the Perseid meteor shower (8/12-14), to Woodstock's 40th, to honoring "Mr. 6-String" himself, Les Paul, and the 10th anniversary of my wedding date, this episode of The Kitchen Sink covers all the bases.

The Kitchen Sink puts it's foot down and gets around to playing songs that just couldn't get passed over anymore...a Pandora's Box of rejection, if you will.

Some seriously deep tracks, B-sides and songs we know you haven't heard in a while...if ever.

Television The Beastie Boys Keith Jackson The Isley Brothers O-Ren Ishii The Young Fresh Fellows Unpopable (www.balloonbass.com) Sky Cries Mary The Tubes Cibo Matto ...and much, much more.

Thanks for supporting my friends at the above links and for checking back in.

Everyone have a great summer!!

Welcome to what was easily the hardest show we've ever had to put together.

What was suppose to be a simple episode about cartoon superheroes became a near four month odyssey that morphed into something else entirely. How does one cull all this wonderful music and give it enough cohesion so it make any kind of "aurul sense"?

I don't know, but this is what we've come up with for your listening pleasure.

The Clash Leon Klatzkin 50 Cent Burgess Meredith The Who XTC The Temptations Charles Gray, Susan Sarandon & Barry Bostwick Prodigy (featuring Pop Will Eat Itself) David Bowie W. Watts Biggers...and a whole lot more.

Music for heroes and music for villians.

We would love to have your feedback, so, please, leave a comment (good, bad or ugly).

THANK YOU for logging back on and spending some quality time with us.
